EDITOR, The Tribune.

I received news recently about the sad demise of Zelma Dean. I was a colleague of Mrs Dean’s in the late 60s, when she was a maths teacher at Robinson Road School, through to the late 70s when the school became C H Reeves Junior High and Mrs Dean was the principal.

I would like to pay tribute to her as a person, whom I held in high regard and who had my utmost respect. The photograph shows me sitting on Mrs Dean’s right in the school staff room. Now living in Somerset, UK, we have very fond memories of our family time in Nassau where both our sons were born.

I thought Mr Ingraham’s article summed up what a great Bahamian citizen Zelma Dean was.
